"Trey did an exceptional job on our 3 story lake home. It was one of the best contractor experiences we have had in a long time. We appreciated his quick quote and communication throughout our job. He was prompt, knowledgeable and considerate of gardens and pets. Our neighbor was also impressed and had him do their home. He is a hard worker and we really enjoyed him and his crew! Highly recommend!"

"Jason did an amazing job. Our bathroom was in rough shape, and we brought Jason in to completely gut and redo it. It now looks like something that belongs in a spa. He started very close to his original timeline that was laid out. We didn't have weeks go by without any progress, workers were here almost every day. He was able to accommodate some late changes and additions without an issue. The two things that always said it were his dedication to quality, and that he was just as excited to see the finished product as we were."

"Dealing with Irving and his crew was such an easy process! He listened to us, made appropriate suggestions, and did a job of which we are very proud! We have had challenges in finding contractors who are ethical and trustworthy who stand behind their word. That’s exactly what we got with New Life Painting and Drywall. We can’t say enough good things about them. We would have no hesitation to use them again."

Enclosing a carport essentially turns it into a garage. You’ll start by framing and finishing exterior walls, then add a garage door (averaging $1,200), windows, and wiring for lights or outlets.
Plan for site prep and, if needed, a thicker slab to handle the added weight. Once the walls are up, insulation, drywall, and exterior siding create a secure, weather-tight space that protects vehicles and gear year-round.
A well-built carport may not add a huge dollar figure to an appraisal, but it can boost buyer appeal. Covered parking protects vehicles and lawn equipment, sharpens curb appeal, and fills what might otherwise be an empty driveway space. If the carport matches your home’s style and stays in good repair, it can make the property more attractive and competitive when you decide to sell.
Most cities and counties require a building permit for a new carport. Fees range from $60 to $800, depending on local codes and the size of the structure. Getting the permit upfront ensures the carport meets zoning rules and HOA guidelines, protecting you from fines or expensive retrofits later. Check with your building department—or ask your contractor—before ordering materials or scheduling installation.
A poured concrete slab is the gold standard for carport foundations. Concrete delivers superior load-bearing strength, keeps posts level, and resists shifting in freeze-thaw conditions. While gravel, dirt, or permeable pavers cost less upfront, they can’t match concrete’s long-term stability, especially if you might convert the carport into a garage later. Investing in a slab now can save money and hassle down the road.
Pre-made kits start at $300 and bundle all the required parts—sometimes installation, too—making them the most budget-friendly option. Custom carports cost more ($12 to $40 per square foot plus labor) but let you match the design, size, and finishes to your home.
If price and quick setup top your list, go with a kit. If you have a tricky layout or want a seamless aesthetic, investing in a custom build is worth the premium.
